Healthy Cobb Salad

Healthy Cobb Salad Recipe – Meal Prep

Who doesn’t love Cobb Salad? I love how its a little bit different everywhere you have it and anyone you ask has a different idea of the best one. This healthy Cobb salad recipe is what I would consider a perfect Cobb salad for meal prep. I can easily eat this all week and I will be sad when I run out at the end of the week!

This amazingly tasty salad is so great for meal prep as it is so I didn’t have to make many changes for it to store in the fridge happily. The only thing I had to omit was avocado. I was sad about that at first and thought I might add it in at serving time but honestly, I don’t think this salad needs it! Nixing the avocado brings the calories down a little so I just left it out.

When I add the dressing, it mixes with the blue cheese in the salad. It makes a wonderfully creamy, zingy dressing. The honey mustard combines so well with the blue cheese and man, it can’t be beat! The radish was also a great addition, it has a little edge so you get a little of that with every bite, It’s just perfect!

Arrange the marinated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or a little cooking spray. Bake about 25 minutes until internal temp is 165 degrees F.

While the chicken bakes, fry your bacon over medium heat in a large frying pan turning frequently. Once the bacon is crisp, remove from the pan and drain on a plate lined with paper towel, set aside.

In a medium sized bowl add all the dressing ingredients except the olive oil. whisk to combine and then slowly add the olive oil while whisking to finish. Taste and adjust salt or vinegar to how you like it. Pour into 5 small dressing sized containers and store in the fridge. Shake before adding to your salad.

Once the chicken is done cooking remove from the oven and cool. Once cool, chop into small pieces.
